For quick ones like this it can be simplified, but I could write a 3 page guide on the tweaked LoRas/Configs and the Manual Steps I use. 

However, here is a quick getting started workflow: 

1. Download & Install Stability Matrix

• Search for “Stability Matrix” (by LykosAI) and download the version for your OS.
• Extract and run it. Choose a data directory when prompted (keep the path short).

2. Install ComfyUI

• Inside Stability Matrix, go to the Packages tab.
• Click Add Package → select ComfyUI → install.
• Launch it when ready. (Use the built-in Inference tab in Stability Matrix for simpler generation.)

3. Download the Anima Model

• Search Hugging Face for “circlestone-labs/Anima”.
• Download the needed files (usually from the split_files folder):
  • Main model (anima-base-v1.0.safetensors or similar) → place in Stability Matrix’s Models/DiffusionModels (or the equivalent ComfyUI diffusion_models folder)
  • Text encoder (qwen_3_06b_base.safetensors) → Models/TextEncoders
  • VAE (qwen_image_vae.safetensors) → Models/VAE
• Stability Matrix’s model browser can often handle the downloads directly.

4. Download Starmaker Story Style LoRA(s)

• Go to CivitAI.
• Important: Enable 18+ / NSFW content in your account settings so restricted models appear.
• Search for “Starmaker Story” (or “Starmaker Story Style”). Look for the one by tang1qt and similar style LoRAs.
• Download the .safetensors LoRA file(s).
• Drop them into Stability Matrix’s Models/Lora (or LyCORIS) folder. Stability Matrix usually auto-detects them for ComfyUI / Inference when starting the service.

5. Generate

• Go to the Stability Matrix’s Inference tab.
• Load the Anima model + the Starmaker Story LoRA.
• Example prompts and recommended settings (CFG, steps, weight, trigger words) are listed on the individual LoRA pages on CivitAI,  copy those.
• Common starting point for style LoRAs: weight around 0.7–1.0, add the trigger word if the page lists one, and use tags/natural language that match the game’s pixel / anime look.
